I was pretty excited to see that it has front and rear lockers.

Not that I'm the intended audience, but I feel like this is the perfect vehicle for people who want a bad ass midsize truck and know themselves well enough to know that they have zero interest in modding. If the Gladiator Rubicon didn't exist, I think this would be the perfect truck.

If only you could get it with a manual, then I could be interested. I like that you can use the rear locker in 2H / 4H / 4L

Front and rear lockers like the ZR2 Colorado

I like it, but the goofy graphics would have to go.

I wanted one of these til I saw it in person at KOH. It would be FULL with a 35, assuming it could fit. I'm surprised they didn't open up the wheel wells even a little.

And of course the shitty dealer mark ups - New 2024 Ford Ranger RAPTOR SuperCrew® in Ashland #JE02316 | Sheehy Ford of Ashland (sheehyfordashland.com)

I am pleasantly surprised. I was very disappointed in the last generation of the Ranger. Everyone has an opinion with likes and dislikes but I thought the last truck was ugly.

Why do people keep paying these prices? $80k! I keep hearing how dealers are suffering on sales. Guess they are the exception? What a joke.

The graphics shown are part of a $750 graphics package,.

The "Raptor" on the bed sides is standard, but there is supposedly an option for a decal-delete.

Yeah, the dealer markups in some areas are insane. Luckily, my local dealer sells them at MSRP.

I do like the power plant it has. I am hoping the 2025 Gladiator gets something similar.

Or anything better than the 3.6 , hurricane would be nice.

My original plan was to get a 2024 Ranger Raptor in Oxford White with decal delete. I was going to order early, but I think I've decided to wait until next spring.

Some of the things about the current new US-spec Ranger Raptor that don't thrill me right now:
1) No a-pillar grab handles. I use the ones on my JTM every time I get it.
2) No upper AC vents for rear passengers.
3) No hard buttons for some frequently used items like heated seats & steering wheel.
4) Defaults to 4Auto at start-up.
5) Requires installation of bed reinforcement brackets for anything over 88lbs on the bed rails.

With all that said, if a white one showed up at a local dealer for MSRP, I'd have a tough time not buying it.

Agreed, but I feel like people complain about the prices being high until some combination of:

Getting money on the hood to reduce the pre-inflated price and feel like they got a steal

Financing way out to make the payment lower and seem not as bad

 

[bleda2002]

Raptor is really nice, the regular ranger doesnt look like they tried that hard imo. Still kind of ugly, and the interior is just super ford cost cutting as usual.
